Terms

GENERAL

This page tells you the terms on which we supply any of the products listed on our website marvellousmaps.com. By ordering any of our products you agree to be bound by these terms. Some companies have separate 'conditions', to go along with their terms, but they pretty much mean the same thing, so that would be like saying 'terms and terms' or 'conditions and conditions', so we've ust got terms.

MAKING A CONTRACT WITH US

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that you are at least 16 years old, or if you are under 16 years old, that you have the consent of your parent or legal guardian to purchase from us and for us to process the personal information we need from you in order to fulfil the contract (i.e. deliver the product to you).

HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the product has been dispatched. The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the dispatch confirmation.

The contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the dispatch confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate dispatch confirmation.

CONSUMER RIGHTS

If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a contract at any time within 14 working days, beginning on the day after you received the products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in our Returns Policy).

To cancel a contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the products to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERABILITY

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

RISK AND TITLE

The products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

Ownership of the products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the products, including delivery charges.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of the products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. If you have any questions please contact us directly.

Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

Payment for all products must be by credit/debit card or other method as available on our web site. We accept payment by Mastercard, Visa and American Express.

RETURNS

Returns will be accepted if we have been notified in advance and within 30 days of receipt of goods by emailing hello@marvellousmaps.com, and by meeting the stated requirements.

If you return a product to us:

Because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the 14-day cooling-off period (see clause 'Consumer Rights' above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you gave notice of cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. For UK orders we will cover the costs of returning the Product. For overseas orders you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

For any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the product is defective), we will examine the returned product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of a defective product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

Purchases for business are excluded from the 30-day return policy, no such goods will be accepted for return unless faulty or damaged.

Refund of 'returned products' lost in transit will not be considered unless proof of posting is supplied.

DAMAGE/NON-DELIVERY

Claims for damage must be made within 3 days of receipt of goods. Damaged product and packaging must be retained in case of inspection by our carriers. Claims of non-delivery must be made within 28 days of despatch.

CORRECTIONS

Descriptions of products included on our website are accurate to the best of our knowledge. We do our best to correct errors or omissions as soon as we are aware of them. However, you should be aware that the colours and appearance of products may vary very slightly from the way they appear on the screen. Also print sizes can vary slightly between production batches. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you wait to receive your unframed prints before committing to third-party frames.

EVENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event).

A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following:

strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action;

civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war;

impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport;

impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; and

the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.

Our performance under any Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

WAIVER

If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

A waiver by us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.

No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with 'Notices' above.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

We intend to rely upon these terms and conditions and any document expressly referred to in them in relation to the subject matter of any Contract. While we accept responsibility for statements and representations made by our duly authorised agents, please make sure you ask for any variations from these terms and conditions to be confirmed in writing.

CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT

We have the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities.

You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order products from us, unless any change to those policies or these terms and conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions before we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within 14 working days of receipt by you of the products).

SEVERABILITY

In the event that any term of this agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid by judicial decree or decision, the remainder of this agreement shall remain valid and enforceable.
